Punk-rap agitators Codefendants reconnect with West Coast legend The D.O.C. on Rivals, a combustible collision of distortion and razor-edged lyricism that blurs the lines between gutter punk urgency and classic hip-hop authority; opening with D.O.C.’s unmistakable presence and veteran weight, the track quickly spirals into Codefendants’ chaotic, genre-smashing intensity, fusing live-band abrasion with streetwise cadence in a way that feels both confrontational and deliberate, serving as another bold preview of their upcoming album LIFERS and reinforcing the trio’s refusal to choose between scenes when they can set both on fire at once.
